I am on a SWFC Video showing the game we went up from the 2nd Div from the early 80's. (SAD I KNOW)

And my shoulder could clearly be seen on the news, as I stood behind Scargill in 1984 outside the City Hall....!!!!!

Anyone here had their 15 minutes of fame.

Several times, but mostly through working for tv.

Trisha (*shudders*) - my high school did a 'trip' to see a recording. Shame they edited out everyone shouting abuse at the people actually on the show. I got to sit behind Trisha and read her card for 2 hours :rolleyes:

Channel 4 Racing - been in shot loads of times as part of my work for them.

Athens Olympics - Softball - I spent two days behind the batting square looking after the 'umpire cam'. Which mostly involved sleeping in the sun. Was supposed to do the same on the day that Paula Radcliffe dropped out of the marathon, but it was ridiuously hot that day. 41 degrees C in the shade! Spent the day inside the nice air conditioned refreshment tent instead.

Made the ITV News bulletins on Christmas Day 1987!!

It was while I was in the Royal Navy during the Iran/Iraq war and ITV did a news special about life onboard a warship in the Gulf on Christmas Day. Funny thing was that it was only early December when it was recorded and we had left the Gulf area and were actually in Mauritius for Christmas!. We were told about it at the last minute and had to hurriedly decorate our mess overnight! I seem to remember that it was all filmed first thing in the morning and we had to look like we were really in the Christmas spirit. So there we were, having been on shift since 2am, knackered and drinking cans of beer and singing loudly just for the cameras! Surreal to say the least!!

I could've been on Calendar back in 98 from Burton St School in Hillsborough, as I was the "Foreman" of the renovation of the School back when I was on the Prince's Trust, but at the time I'd gone for an interview for a voluntary job working for Oxfam's campaigns office on Glossop Road.

I got teh job as well!

I was knicked for speeding on my bike in 2000 and appeared on all the local news programmes and the papers national and local including radio 2s Jimmy young as a topic.
Really embarrassing listening to them talking about me.
They never asked my opinion though.

Several times....

Approached by researchers and asked to appear (and dance with my mates) on "Dance Energy" @ BBC Manchester, filmed 12 shows - 6 on one Saturday, and the following 6, a week later.
Met lots of Soul/House/Hip Hop artists/acts. Great laugh too.

(Normski is full of himself, and clearly needs to get :help: )


Also, I was asked to be an 'extra' in "Threads", and run down the Moor, I don't remember seeing myself in the film, but the experience was ace.

I'll think of more when I'm a lil' more sober.

I was in an advert for Klick Photoshop when I was about 11 or 12.

I was on "Where there's life" with Dr Miriam Stoppard when I was 16. It was a programme about education and I was a mad goth! She spoke to me first and said I had the most amazing hairstyle she had ever seen!! (huge black back combed creation!)

I was on Calendar news several times during the Kelvin Flats clearance as I was chair of the tenants group at the time.

About 4 years ago, a friend and I filmed an audition tape to be on Louis Thereaux's weird weekend. We were due to do the filming but the show was pulled at the last minute due to some questions about its content and was replaced by one about Keith Harris and Orvill in pantomime!!! To say I was gutted was an understatement!

When I was just 7 I appeared on Breakfast TV with a room-full of other dancing school kids. I was right on the front row doing a very basic tap routine that we were told to do for the camera, looking down at my feet the whole time. :blush:

The story was about the dancing school (Constance Grants on Psalter Lane) and the head teacher of the school was seen dancing in circles around Russell Grant while he read out the daily horoscopes.

Let the mocking commence. :lol:

When I was 12, I was on a locally produced children's program called "Zoo's Who." I presented a narrative and slide show that I wrote and photographed at our local zoo for a school project. Unfortunately, I was upstaged by a racoon that kept climbing up my clip-on microphone cord and chewing on my hair.

I knew then that print journalism -- not TV -- was the medium for me.

ive been on local news (lincolnshire news should i say!) , aged 11 singing choir solos, soooo embarrassing! also me and boyf went to watch 'the farm', was an eviction night and we were stood behind colin and justin so very nice shots of us grinning like goons!

I was on Look North when they were promoting the Yorkshire Outlet a fair few years back, I was serving a customer whilst they filmed me.... I remember struggling to fit a toy some kid bought in a bag - typical they showed it on TV!

I was also on a ghost hunt programe on Living TV, it was the worlds biggest ghost hunt at Tutbery Castle. You can see me trying to pitch my tent whilst drunk and in the rain - then I'm running to the car for shelter.

Me and TV don't go well together, both embarasing moments!

"With a little help from my friends" with Paul Burrell, filmed at my house last summer, i was in the background a few times and my voice was used on a phone call! And if im been honest, i wish i hadnt had that much to do with it, it was totally bo-lax, made the village where i live, out to be really bad and all of us to look like scrubbers, when really,its a bloody decent area, alot of the TV crew were really nice,just doing thier job i suppose and Paul Burrell himself wasnt really that "RA RA" but, Jamie Theakston, well jesus H crist, i would like to dot him, total cock!!

1995 Cup Final: 3 seconds close up. Looking gutted.

Match of the Day: For a whole season in the closing credits.

Running across Tudor Square with a placard, towards a rapidly vanishing black car containing a certain T.Blair.

Some years ago when the film Robin Hood Prince of Thieves came out, I was consulted by Calendar about the kind of language used at the historical time of RH (my specialty being Old and Middle English studies) and was filmed talking about it. To my amazement it was used and went on for about 5 minutes. Only 10 more minutes to go for my 15 minutes of fame...

I also did an interview about language to be broadcast on Canadian radio, and I've been on Radio Sheffield a few times, talking about the General Cemetery and other things.

I've been on twice.

The first time was as an audience member for "The Movie Game", a kids TV and film quiz on BBC hosted by Jonathan Morris. Two people from my middle school were one of the three teams, and I was in the front row of the audience. I used to bite my nails a lot then (I still do a bit now), and every time I was in shot I seemed to be biting them.

The second time was on "Clubavision", a late night club programme on ITV. At the time I was a dedicated happy hardcore raver and they were recorded from the one and only Helter Skelter in October 1999. Me and two girls who'd come raving with us queued up to be interviewed on camera. I said something along the lines of "Helter Skelter is amazing, the best night out in the entire country". Then later on there were about two clips of me dancing, although I hadn't noticed that the camera was there. I was wearing a yellow UV waistcoat and had a whistle round my neck. :hihi: :hihi:

Twice

The first time was back in 1967-68, when Fife (Hello im standing here) Robinson did a documentary on sheffield schools and he chose Wybourn, can anyone remember that?

The second time was at a sheff united match, i told my gaffer i was sick that saturday and knocked work but he saw me on the tele, luckily i didn't get the sack.

I was an extra in a film called ID and was part of an hooligan gang throwing bricks at the police. Unfortunately, there were a number of us so I can't be seen amongst the crowd :(. Was great fun though and wouldn't mind doing summat like that again!!
